The camera features reflex viewing\/focusing. We recommend Fomapan R100 as an affordable, still-being-made double 8mm film for use this this camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera requires 4 x AA batteries (not included). The original manual is included but its cover page is missing. A detachable pistol grip is also included but the trigger sometimes sticks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe camera was tested with film installed (the film was not developed); the motor is running smoothly. The light meter is responding to light but we're unable to ascertain its accuracy. Most modern film is outside its metering range so we recommend using the manual exposure mode and a handheld light meter (or the 'Sunny 16' rule).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal catalog description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8-U-MATIC ZOOM  for really professional movie effects!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive motion picture realism to your home movies with the latest addition to the \u003cbr\u003eYashica range of 8mm movie cameras \u003cbr\u003eAt the touch of a button the U-MATIC is driven by a tiny powerful electric micro-motor.
